McDonald's has become so expensive here in the last months that it's sometimes cheaper to eat in a relatively decent restaurant. I don't eat in McD but a friend recently had a chicken sandwich, fries, coke and a sundae for close to Bs. 180. It's rid.iculous. At the official rate that's around $30. But at the black market rate that's under $4. Same goes for clothing, electronics, etc.

It seems argentina didn't learn from their past hyper inflation or from Venezuela's economic problems...

$180 doesn't sound right. One of the most expensive combos (say an Angus Tasty or something) is around $90ARS.
BolĂ­vares.not $ ... As he said, using the official rate it would be $30
